So I got up to actually look, and I don't seem to have straps after all. What do I have is a couple of "anti-topple brackets." Not wrenches after all, just metal brackets DISGUISED as allen wrenches.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

Jesse, and how you had to tell your friends that you didn't want any of that because you didn't want to be in trouble for oreos!! I LOVE THAT.

Jesse, this one made me think of you and your ceiling/plumbing woes.
Rio, I totally have to order the book.

anti topple brackets are also good! They aren't as fabulous as straps, but I'll use those in a pinch to secure the shelves.
DOH! I just realized that in spite of having thought I put all christmas stuff away, I still have stockings hanging. I wonder if I can shoehorn them into the box.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The one where the frostbitten fans threw snow-fireworks after every touchdown in the playoffs last year was hilarious. I don't remember a thing from the game itself, just my amazement at the persistence of the fans.
It's even funnier if you realize the team they were playing was Miami, who must have been being prepped by God for their season this year (just barely beating the Pats in a garbage-time game aside). Although they were two to three times warmer than Tennessee who played the next week with a field high temp of 11F.
I also have it on pretty good authority that the Pats move to Hartford was a bluff Bob Kraft totally got called on - there was no way he was going to move the team out of Foxboro if it wasn't to Boston, and Boston ponied up some dough on top of it.
Finally, on another of the subjects that have been discussed, I actually like Moxie, but COMPLETELY understand those who spit it out.

random interjection:
for those of you who like Cook's Illustrated or watch America's Test Kitchen, the cookbooks from ATK are AWESOME. So good that we can now delete the X number of episodes from the Tivo.

LOVE ATK. I think I like the equipment part best, cause you always wonder if the expensive shit is better, and you know what? IT NEVER IS.

Vortex, these cookbooks also have all of that stuff. The equipment and the taste tests.
Love.

but then, what will I watch on Sundays? I wonder where ATK is. We should make a pilgrimage. We could be tasters!

Boston, I think.
The cookbooks are for the ones that have broadcast already. So I have the books from 2002 and 2003.
